Ok no more new pics to upload yet but I have installed the Res. Heaters all I had to do was extend the 2-core wire to reach the top of the unit, set them to 21oC and plug them in..job done they are currently heating up and have so far the nuit. Res. has risen from 12oC upto about 15/16oC so with a bit of luck in half hour or so they should be hitting at least 20oC I'll keep my fingers crossed for 21oC then its just a case of waiting for the seed/s to germinate, I still need to re-fuse the 2 120W bar heaters but after that I can take it easy for a few days 
I have ordered a few things on E-Bay so when they turn up I'll update again...Hopefully soon - STELTHY

Ok I left the res. Temp check until this morning.... I've just looked at my digital thermometer readings and they are consistent both at 20.4oC I could tweek them to get 21oc but Iam happy with that its only point 5 or so out and that's nothing ...I must add those water heaters are the tits ...I strongly recommend them to all hydro growers in cold.

LOL I couldn't resist.. Here's some pics of another little upgrade
The Perspex tinted window for the CCTV installation, I woke up this morning confident that I could drill the Perspex without cracking it...I took the advice of some worker dude at my local hardware store, He told me to use 'Metal' drill bits in stages...start with a very small drill bit..and wet the area with water..(I used spit lol) and work up through the different sized bits until you have the sized holes you desire. I had to hold down the Perspex firmly to stop the stuff climbing the bit (A flaw that often happens - and leaves the craftsman in fits of rage ) So that what I did and managed 4, well 8 holes (4 holes in each piece) perfect for a decent sized nut n bolt - STELTHY

Here's all the stuff I need to get started with applying the tint, The Perspex comes with a white protective film on both sides...This needs to be removed and the Perspex needs to be polished, I used kitchen towel and a tad bit of tap water, any loose plastic around the drilled holes needs to be removed

I used the 2nd piece of Perspex to cut out the correct sized piece of dark smoked tinted film, then removed the protective layers of film from that piece too., I left .5cm around the outside so its easy to trim after the film sticks and the water dries, I used an ultra sharp scalpal courtesy of my local grow shop - STELTHY

After the tints been applied, Its a good idea to spray the non sticky side of the applied tint with water, and use a credit card or simerllar to sqeegee? out the air/water bubbles, I started in the middle and worked to the outside edges slowly rotating the card left in a circle
and vola no air bubbles and a perfect finish! - STELTHY

Then I turned the Perspex tint-side down on a dry surface, and applied firm pressure to hold the tint in place (when its just been applied the film can still slip!), Then I took the scalpel and cut in line with the edge of the Perspex screens, this creates a profesh like finish... I am going to let the applied tint dry for a few hours and in that time visit another little hardware store to find some suitable nuts, bolts and washers...nice rust resistant silver ones I hope
Black n Chrome always looks great more updates this afternoon - STELTHY

I just got back from the shops, I bought some stuff, I bought LOL a toilet roll holder (colour coded)
to hold some TP incase of a spillege etc and I can clean it up quick I bought some 'No More Nails Tape' to seal the CCTV windows in place and to illiminate any dust from getting in between the Perspex, and I changed my nuit want EC reader over foir a new one free of charge since my other one only lasted me 1 grow, so that was good of them at the store and lastly some nuts n bolts etc to fix the Perspex windows in place - Ps/ sorry about the shit pic I thought I rotated it before uploading it, nevermind - STELTHY
